Jenny McCarthy is the new host of NBC's summer dating series
"Love in the Wild," which she said was an absolute blast to film. She also teases a few ways Season 2 will be different from Season 1.
On the experience as a whole, which she took her son Evan along for:

"It was one of the most incredible experience of both of our lives. Evan fell in love with the island, I fell in love with the culture. I had a ball with these youngsters ... we did put them through a lot. Some couples really fell in love and it really worked and I can't wait for everyone to watch and find out who it is."
On the most surprising aspect of filming the show:

"These kids were doing such dangerous adventures. I couldn't believe what we were asking them to do ... and I was the one who wound up on crutches. I pulled my hamstring, so for like two episodes I had to be like carried around. And I pulled my hamstring while sleeping, so I felt like the biggest wuss."
On her different style as a host:

"Instead of just being a deliverer of rules, I wanted to add a little more to the table. I knew that I could cheer on the girls, I could make fun of the guys, I could have fun with them. I could kind of mess with them like a big sister would and it added a little bit more flavor to the series, I believe."

McCarthy also teases that this year they added a lean-to - a literal shack with no walls that the losing couple has to stay in after every adventure. She says it made everyone try a little harder because no one wanted to come in last place.

She also sums up the season thusly, "Danger and drama is arousing, you get an adrenaline high from it."
